Vocaloid 2 Prima is a virtual female vocalist modelled on the voice of a professional soprano singer. Once this software is installed into your PC it will allow you to create synthesized singing of unprecedented quality and remarkable realism. 



Prima will hit those high notes every time with perfect accuracy. Whether it's soaring leads, harmonies or backing vocals, Prima can sing any word from the English language (and other languages too with a little work).

Prima is also very well suited if you want to be adventurous and experimental, since her voice can be easily modified and shaped in many ways.

In addition to singing any words or combination of syllables or phonemes you can imagine, Prima will spread any sustained vowel (or voiced consonant) across as many notes as you like, with perfect legato.

You can select from several different natural vibrato types and drag and drop your chosen type to any note or notes, and control the time-position and amount of the vibrato.



And that's just the beginning - you have control over all of the following parameters, which you can bring to bear on any part of your creation:

• Changing syllables/phonemes
• Timing of each note (precise position/length)
• Vibrato (you can change its type/position/amount/frequency)
• Volume
• Attack
• Crescendo or diminuendo
• Pitch bend (amount, and positionable in time)
• Glide (portamento)
• Resonance (Frequency/bandwidth/amplitude)
• Harmonics
• Noise
• Brightness
• Clearness
• Gender factor

Prima can also be used with the newer VOCALOID3 and VOCALOID4 Editors - see System Requirements for more details.

"..I was skeptical about opera vocals fitting in with anything I produced, but once I discovered that you can tweak Prima's character and tone quite handily, I found many successful uses for it. Admittedly, I didn't use Prima for her intended purpose of lead soprano. Instead, I found her perfectly suited in creating "dream" harmonies in trance numbers and soaring, lush, expression-filled backing vocals to edgier pop singers I'd been working with. By playing around with syllables and phonetics, you can literally make Prima sing anything, and in any language. Inspired by this, I created some very cool ethnic vocals to drop atop World beats, and by using the gender-bending parameter, I even coaxed out a male falsetto perfect for sample recreating experimental post-rock work a la Sigur Ros.."

"Despite the soprano singer source, Prima could easily be used for some pop-styles, although the operatic flavour does come through. The MP3 audio examples of 'Mon Coeur S'Ouvre' (from Samson et Dalila) and 'Ave Maria' demonstrate just how credible Prima can sound, particularly with long, legato-style phrases... It is relatively easy to get Prima to produce something that sounds very realistic within the context of a musical arrangement. In fact, it's possible to produce some really strident, window-rattling, operatic vocals... the results can be impressive. As the Vocaloid editor allows up to 16 tracks to be layered, Prima could hold considerable appeal for media composers looking to add some operatic-style backing vocals or vocal 'washes' to their projects... Prima can be made to sound uncannily like the real thing... Prima is undoubtedly the best implementation of a Vocaloid virtual vocalist that's currently available... if you need to add backing vocals or the occasional operatically-flavoured vocal line to a project, Prima will prove far cheaper than booking a session singer... and while it is still not the Holy Grail of a perfect 'singer-in-a-box', Prima does represent another step in the right direction towards that very ambitious target"
